Free leeks

Not grass, honest!  June 2019

I've been trying to save seed from my leeks for several years but without success.  I leave the plants to flower, but the seed has never germinated for me, until this spring:  a flowerhead dropped onto a bed last autumn and I left it there to compost, only to discover a fast growing patch of leeks this April.  Way too close together, but I'm not complaining;  I'll thin them out (and retransplant the thinnings):  free leeks!

Every year the leeks start to sprout new divisions from the base, like garlic, so I never pull my leeks up fully:  they get cut off at the base with the roots left intact.  I get free leeks this way too.
